In this work we present the books Bosque quemado (2007), Veneno (2012) and Casa chilena (2015), written by Roberto Brodsky, which are shaped as a trilogy of autobiographical texts in which the author deals with the effects of the devastating decay of the social utopias in the individual world. We will emphasize on (1) the reflection about the traumas generated from exile and return during the periods of Chilean dictatorship and post-dictatorship that remodeled personal and family history; (2) the migrant construction of the character, that in a state of mourning and melancholy, looses his sense of belonging, with no place to settle and (3) the writer’s identity accomplished by the act of writing an autobiography that intermingles life and fiction.
